Yeah!  The following students stayed on “Green” for the month of November-Nazar, Rana, Nadeen, Rewa, Jenna, Saad, Aya, and Israa.  Way to go my Awesome Aviators!

Next month I hope we have more students who stay on green every single day!  I know you can do it:)

I hope you enjoy the time off with your family and friends.  I wanted to let everyone know that I am very thankful for the opportunity to teach your child.  All of you have wonderful children who put a smile on my face each and every day.  I am so thankful that I get to wake up every morning and come to a job that I love!

Wishing all of my wonderful families a very Happy Thanksgiving!

We filled our marble jar and the kids voted to play games and decorate brownies.  A great big thanks goes out to Ali D’s and his mom for making the delicious brownies for us to decorate and enjoy!  Thanks, again Ali D., we really appreciate it!

The second grade teachers will be hosting another parent meeting on Monday, November 24 from 1:15-1:45 in room 112 to discuss ways that you can help your child at home with math.  We will be showing you different math programs on the computer, demonstrating how to do a Number Talk and many more things!

 

I look forward to seeing you on Monday.

Yeah!  We have finally filled our marble jar because we are AWESOME!  Students were able to learn about how we vote in the United States by casting a ballot for their favorite way to celebrate filling the marble job.  After we voted, it then turned into a math lesson.  We compiled our data, students formed small groups and then created a graph from the data.  They were so excited about filling their marble jar that they didn’t even realize they were learning!

The students voted to play games (Candyland, Chutes and Ladders, Math Uno, etc.) and I will be making brownies for them to decorate and eat.  Therefore, your child does not need to bring a snack on Friday because they will be enjoying the brownies they created!

Great job boys and girls!  I am very proud of you.  Now let’s start earning some more marbles so we can have another celebration!
